Simon Critchley, an English philosopher, argues, in his 1992 book ""The Ethics of Deconstruction"", that Derrida's deconstruction is an intrinsically ethical practice.

It is characterized by an absence of harmony, continuity, or symmetry.

"of the most well-known postmodernist concerns is ""deconstruction,"" a theory for philosophy, literary criticism, and textual analysis developed by Jacques Derrida. The notion of a ""deconstructive"" approach implies an analysis that questions the already evident understanding of a text in terms of presuppositions, implied hierarchical values among its central terms, and frames of reference. A deconstructive approach further depends on the techniques of ""close reading"" the associative import of specific elements of the text: associations that are linguistic and philosophical, but which also take into account cultural and historical contexts. A deconstructionist approach does not elevate speculations about any non-iterated"
